This year will be my second Thanksgiving on GAPS. In the picture above you can see what we had last year. It is possible to have a lovely meal so long as you are able to eat the foods from the full GAPS list.

If you are very new to GAPS, it might feel horrible. Looking back on it, I'm glad I started GAPS after Thanksgiving. It gave me almost a year to get used to the foods and preparation methods for the alternative flours.

That is still a lot of dishes to prepare all in one day. The desserts remain to be chosen.

I have to admit I got a little carried away with my Faux Sweet Potato pie. It was just so delicious. I made four pies in all… shared the first two with my coworkers, ate one piece of number 3 then gave it away to one of our neighbors who gave it a 10. Number 3 was my favorite and the recipe I shared on Saturday. But pie #4 has been here keeping me company. Even though it had only 2 Tablespoons of honey and no meringue, we have been spending a lot of face time together, if you get my drift. 😉

Looks wonderful, Starlene! Thanks for including my cranberry sauce 🙂 I’m a slacker – I still don’t have it all figured out. Better get on that!Joy at The Liberated Kitchen recently posted..Mental Mondays #4: The Power of Gratitude

Looks divine, Starlene! Collaborating with my mom on this year’s Thanksgiving menu, so hopefully that’ll be easier. But we’re also cooking for 26 people – haha, yeah. Wish me luck. I made a yummy marinade for the turkey last year and I slow-cooked it overnight, which was great. Hopefully I’ll get some time to write up the recipe for it on my MidEATS blog. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! 🙂

Hi Heba! I’m behind on responding to comments, whoops! Wow, 26 people! How did that work out? I can’t even imagine! The marinade sounds wonderful, would love to see it. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! ~Starlene

Oh my, I wish I would have checked this out! My dinner was good but this looks great. I think I will try making the stuffing and gravy anyway just for dinner on a regular day.Charlotte Quevedo recently posted..Cinthianne’s Hair Care Routine

Hi Charlotte, I have had this gravy throughout the year but usually only have stuffing at Thanksgiving or Christmas. I too should make it at other times as I love it. Thanks for stopping by and visiting!
